FLASHBACK-

"I know you were angry with me about some of my decisions. The way I treated Gavin before the ride. And I also know the guilt you feel about what happened. It wasn't your fault he died. You were only trying to help him and me both. Stop blaming yourself, and just be there for them kids. They'll need you now more than ever."

"I'm sorry Daddy," Anne cried.

"You forgave me. You came home. There's nothing in the world I wouldn't do for you guys, you know that. I have my daughter home. But you have to understand why I'm doing this. Why I can't leave the ranch to you. I have to leave it for those kids."

"I didn't want anything to do with this place, you know that. I'm actually glad you chose to leave the ranch to the kids."

"She ever comes home, promise me you'll tell her for me how much I love her. I love her more than a thousand fathers could ever love their daughters. And I love you the same way."

"Four times!" Louis blasted into the phone as he slammed the truck door. He went walking toward the lake, not knowing where he was really going or what he was going to do.

"What's wrong, Lou bear?" Sophia said on the other end, voice laced with worry.

"That's how many times we were intimate! Four of which we actually penetrated, but I'll never cheapen the other times where we either just kissed or touched each other," Louis cried into the phone.

"Oh, Louis... Anne told you, didn't she?"

"No. Luke did. In London. At the competition."

He was so furious he didn't know what moved him to call Sophia in such a state. But who else was number one on his list of betrayers?

"Harry; the way he looked at me... He doesn't want me anymore, Grandma," Louis cried in a strained hurt voice, "How could you keep this from me? I still had hope he'd change his mind but now there's none. I told you he broke up with me, why didn't you tell me then?"

"Louis, I'm so sorry, dear. Your mother made me promise never to tell you of such things!"

"What things? It's just one thing! One important detail you kept from me my whole life and the entire time I was in Champton!"

"Calm down, Darling. What did Anne say? Did she explain anything to you about it?"

"I don't know. I didn't stick around," he answered honestly. As soon as he had gotten back he grabbed the truck keys and fled while no one was looking.

"Go home, Louis. Go back to the ranch and talk it out. Because I can't tell you, sweetheart. Your mother's not here anymore but she made me promise for you kids. I can't tell you, but your aunt can!"

Louis walked in. The house was warm and he smelled bread and peas cooking in the kitchen. He spotted Anne busying herself in there. Her movements were agitated.
